Remember that classic computer game, Pong? Here's a fun new twist, in the form of an Easter Egg:

1. Fire up Dreamweaver on a PC.
2. Make sure that your computer's sound is turned up so you can hear this.
3. Open any file (ones that have lots of text and/or graphics are especially nice to use).
4. Click within some text in design view so the (default) text Property Inspector is showing.
5. On the Property Inspector, just to the right of the color swatch (that controls the text color), is a place where you would normally type in a hex color value.
6. In that textbox type the word 'dreamweaver' and hit the Enter key. (Hint: move your cursor up and down with the mouse but don't click on the mouse buttons.)

A new masthead and footer for everyone: the Cove. This is where we surf. This is where I proposed to Meredith.

Had a relaxing honeymoon cruise to Baha, through LA (thanks M&D!), and back up to Napa. Read a great book: The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown - highly recommended. Ran into a friend from high school on Catalina - they couldn't make it to the wedding at the last minute, but we saw them here by chance - excellent serendipity!

Now, right back into macromedia launch madness on Labor Day!

Well, at least I have Strong Bad Emails to console me. That, and my my lovely wife. :)

My brother and his buddies took me surfing at the cove in the morning, skateboarding in Los Angeles after dark (for practice), then nightsurfing in Malibu for my last night in Southern California as a bachelor.

Five foot swells rolling in over 70 yards... phosphorescent algae made the water glow as dolphins played nearby and dudes yahooed all night in the dark.

I'll remember being surfed by the waves that day, and standing up for a look around, listening to birds and the whitewash behind me.

Ahh, surfing.

Attended the Chapter 2 CD Release Party for the Songs Inspired By Literature Project (SIBL). During this classy event to support literacy programs all over America (like Project Read), we were treated to performances from this year's songwriting competition.

Seven fine songwriters representing the East and West Coast really got us thinking about how to change the lives of the 1 in 5 adults who can't read. The air thrummed with positive vibrations from visual and musical artists, writers, and filmmakers. We danced and then sat front row and soaked it all in, as people performed works inspired by famous and obsure works of literature.

Just imagine the karma involved in tutoring a new reader, or helping someone overcome the stigma of functional illiteracy. We heard testimonials, pledges of support, and a rallying speech by the founder, Deborah Pardes (a fine songwriter herself!).

Spend some free time connecting, supporting, mentoring, listening, or spreading the word about Artists for Literacy!

six players creating post-dead jam-rock - bring your friends to the Curve Bar (747 3rd Street, 9pm) on Friday 3/7 for a tasty treat (hint: oboe).
